l2fwd_fork relies on a multiprocess model that that DPDK does not
support (calling rte_eal_init() before fork()), in particular in light
of recent EAL changes like the multiproess communication channel.

This example can mislead users into thinking this is a supported
multiprocess model; hence, this commit removes this example and the
corresponding user guide documentation as well.

Hi Gage,

Maybe the commit message should reference the earlier discussion on the
mailing list.
Certainly, will do.

Thanks,
Gage
